The exhibition Carlo Scarpa. Venini 1932–1947, curated by Marino Barovier, until 29 November, at the Fondazione Cini, reconstructs Carlo Scarpa’s career in the years when he was artistic director of the Venini glassworks, from 1932 to 1947. The exhibition is the first public event of Le Stanze del Vetro (Rooms for Glass), a new permanent space, a long-term cultural project launched by the Fondazione Giorgio Cini in collaboration with Pentagram Stiftung for the purpose of studying and showcasing the art of Venetian glassmaking in the 20th century.
